Episode 45: A Renters' Rights Bill Special

In this episode of NRLA podcast Listen Up Landlords presenters NRLA CEO Ben Beadle and Richard Blanco take a deep dive into the contents of the Government’s new Renter’s Rights Bill

Ben and Richard are joined by Theo Plowman of the British Property Federation (BPF), landlord Carolyn Uphill, whose portfolio includes student lets, and NRLA Policy Director Chris Norris.

The team unpacks the contents of the new Bill in terms of the key differences between the new proposals and the previous administration’s Renters (Reform) Bill, and the likely consequences.

Carolyn discusses the impact on the student market and the student repossession ground, with Theo discussing the impact of other elements of the legislation.

Chris explains what happens next in terms of the progression of the Bill through Parliament – and the work the NRLA is doing in lobbying MPs for sensible tweaks to the proposed new legislation to ensure it is fair to both landlords and tenants.
